An update on Reed

Reed was one of the first to welcome me to this forum. He quickly became an inspiration as his strength and wisdom set the bar for all of us to emulate. I often wondered who suffers more, those of us who have a life-threatening disease or those that love us and are powerless to help. Reed has given me that answer. I will miss him dearly.

So my daughter, who will be 30 in a few months, says she thinks she has varicose veins, as she can't figure out what else it could be. Only in one leg, and is so bad it is hard to sleep at night. She is in excellent shape, really exercises a lot, and eats well... not at all overweight. Anyone else have any issues with this? I did find that it can go with PKD. She was reading that there are...
